[Q] Any body using imagemagick to bulk edit png files? - Motorola Droid X2

Anybody out there using Linux ?(didn't realize imagemagick runs on Linux OSX and Windows edited the original title of the post.)
Anybody tried using imagemagick to bulk modify pngs for quick theme building?
I am running Debian and have imagemagick installed
What I'm trying to do is put together a bash script that uses imagemagick to replace certain color values within png files.
I hoping that this could be a fast way to change all pngs quickly to match different color schemes.
Here's what I have so far.
For example this command will search all png files in the current directory find any pixles with the color value of somewhere near #359aa1 and replace it with #c5b358.
Code:
mogrify -path ./ -format png -fill "#c5b358" -opaque "#359aa1" -fuzz 10% *.png
-fuzz 10% will search for color values around that #359aa1 value.
And here would be a script containing multiple edits:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#change blue to gold
mogrify -path ./ -format png -fill "#615616" -opaque "#226165" -fuzz 1% *.png
mogrify -path ./ -format png -fill "#87792f" -opaque "#2d8187" -fuzz 1% *.png
mogrify -path ./ -format png -fill "#c5b358" -opaque "#359aa1" -fuzz 1% *.png
mogrify -path ./ -format png -fill "#dfd5a3" -opaque "#89d2d7" -fuzz 1% *.png
mogrify -path ./ -format png -fill "#f9f7ef" -opaque "#c7eaec" -fuzz 1% *.png
The problem I'm running into is getting a good list/range of all the color values that I want to replace. Another problem is that I can't get this to work in the alpha layer for the semi-transparent pixels.
Anybody out there think that this could be worthwhile? I wouldn't mind sharing thought, ideas, code, etc. to get something working. Maybe we could get a quick (it may be generic) kind of theme generator going.
I know imagemagick is command line and is used extensively paired with php on webervers. I wouldn't be surprised if this is how the back end part of the UOT Kitchen generates it's custom icons.

While i think this is a good idea.... Once you get into darker colors, decompilng, xml edits, recompiling will be need to be made as well.
Seems like allot of work when im sure there are @ least 100 different colors allready done & floating around out there..
Could just switch out a compiled "dark" and "Light" framework and pump in the graphics that were selected.
Ive been batching them in the gimp so the trasparency wasnt an issue.. Just did everything once.
Come to think of it doesnt gimp have script-fu or something like that?
Cause then you get access to all of that and you can set it up visually inside of gimp and feed those parameters to the script. You can run any sort of scripts from the webserver

That's kind how I stumbled on the imagemagick thing. I was searching around for how I could batch them up in gimp. I know it could be done, but I got sidetracked by the imagemagick because I was a little familiar with it already because I had used it in a php script that re-sized jpgs in a photo album to display thumbnails of the photos and I saw the option that lets you replace specific color values. I couldn't see how I could replace specific values in gimp.
As I've been messing around with imagemagick I'm finding that it is kind of difficult to handle mapping images with colors that are gradient. It's too difficult to account for all the different shades in a gradient. The results are good when the original image is one or two solid colors but comes up blocky (is that a word) when the original is gradient. Bet it still would be great for one/two color (boring) images though.
I was really interested in using the rotate colors option in gimp. So if I can learn a little script-fu in gimp I'm guessing I could use the rotate colors option in a batch mode?
Gonna hit the old search engine and try to learn me some script-fu. I think I may hang onto some of this imagemagick script stuff though. Different tools for different jobs.

I've been using this for months. It's what's helped me and a lot of themers push out Skins on the market at a record pace. Heck, I've been able to complete an entire theme in hours, not days depending on the PNG's.
The original DEV that posted that first posted it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883392 Give huge thanks and credit to str355. Without him, theming skins for the Android market would take forever. lol.

so is there a command for converting images from indexed to RGB??
---------- Post added at 07:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------
nvm, i thought it could only change rgb files... seems to work fine with indexed files as well!!

please contribute if you can!

Editing Tansparent PNGs
I have some experience with editing transparent PNGs.
Where is what I did in descriptive terms, with Imagemagick site together it should help you.
1) -ALPHA EXTRACT to get 2 jpg files 1 non-transparent icon and 1 grey scale transparency layer.
2) Do your needed mogrify on the icon colours.
3) -COMPOSE COPYOPACITY the 2 jpg files to get a transparent PNG again.
You could experiment with changing the transparency layer too.
One day I hope to be able to do this ON my device so I can theme ALL my icons in my app-drawer.
EDIT: here's an experimental script for sketchy transparent icons:
..\convert 5.png f5.jpg
..\convert 5.png -alpha extract m5.jpg
..\convert m5.jpg -negate n5.jpg
..\composite -compose CopyOpacity n5.jpg n5.jpg nn5.png
..\convert nn5.png -negate m5.png
..\convert f5.jpg -colorspace gray -edge 5 t5.jpg
..\composite -compose src-atop m5.png t5.jpg tt5.jpg
..\composite -compose CopyOpacity tt5.jpg f5.jpg r5.png

draw9patch and transparency

Has anybody had any luck with transparency and draw9patch? for example, take the music.apk file and change the background for the widget to be 80% visible, toss it into the sdk draw9patch tool, save it. You get a simple stretching operation.

read up on setting pixel borders using the draw9 tool usually in the sdk/tools folder. the outer most pixel basically has to be either completely transparant or completely filled. otherwise it won't work. and its a pain finding the perfect stretching area.

Sense green buttons/highlights

Tried looking for a way to change those green highlights that are everywhere in a sense based ROM. For example, when you are in a text message, the message body is highlighted in green and the send button turns green when you hit it. Is there any way to change these?
I'm running Mik Shifted-G v1.5, I have modified my task bar and notifications screen via UOT Kitchen. I'm looking for red if there's already a post somewhere, or a DIY tutorial. Thanks in advance
Some of these are application specific and others (the bulk I would say) are located in framework.res and com.htc.resources. In the two framework files, you are looking for .9 pngs in the res/drawable-hdpi folders. If you already have red png's to replace the green, you can just copy them over in 7zip. To change the existing green to red using the original files is a bit more complex and a lot more time consuming, but pm me if you need to go that route, and I can help you out.
I would suggest editing all framework files first and then look for any stray green bits that may be application specific.

Thanks for the reply, I will check the framework files and go from there. Any specific program that you would recommend for editing the pngs?
It also depends on what Rosie.apk you use as well, like my rosie is Rosie 3 so the button presses for some of the dock are in fusion and some are in Rosie.apk its weird i guess its more or less finding the images you need edited for your version of sense, because now we have Sense 1-3 on the shifty

There are only a couple png's in Rosie that you need to change out. Like strapped365 was saying, there are variations among the different versions of Rosie, but you should be able to locate the files to edit fairly easily.
When editing .9 pngs, you must decompile them (not just extract and decompress). This can be done with apk manager. I use pixlr online to do the actual editing. Pixlr is free and it has a color change tool that works ok. Just be sure to use the selection tool to select only the colored area of the image you will change (I always select all but the 1px outer border). If you don't exclude the outer perimeter of the .9 in Pixlr, it won't recompile correctly.
Hope this helps. It took me a long time to learn how to this, but it's the best way I know to get purely custom colors.

[Theme req] Virus Eternity red

Just modded my soft keys to light up red, attempting to get the theme on Virus's Eternity ROM to match. Could anyone change all the green to red, or point me to some tools to help me edit the framework? I'm new to the theming, but I have a decent understanding of ADB and Android file structure.

That looks... daunting, so lets start small. Now lets say I just wanted to mod the notification bar icons for now, I think that would fall under the .9 png modding portion. What files exactly would I be modifying? Is it some sort of jar file I would be ripping the pngs out of, modifying, and replacing? I am quite new to this, so please don't flame me too much

notification bar icons are mainly in systemui.apk and are standard .pngs.
Theirs alot of guys willing to help those who help them selves. from what your asking i'de suggest doing a ton of reading. their are a ton of theming modding how tos. but if you wanna jump in grab 7zip,gimp(or a similar graphics editor) and android signer, and start experimenting, If you wanna edit .9.pngs your gonna have to learn how to use apktool and a .9 compiler. But just do a search theirs alot of great how tos and tools all over the forum.
I found the systemUI.apk from reading the beats headphone icon thread. So I'm assuming that the .pngs found in the systemUI.apk are normal .pngs that don't need any kind of special encoding or transparency values. If I were going to change some sense 3.0 assets, I would need to use this guide posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5206698, correct?
Edit: Also, is the SystemUI.odex file anything I have to worry about?

if your just looking to change images the .odex isn't something you need to worry about, the link you posted refers to .9.pngs, when you say assets if your refering to the images that are in assets folders tose are .m10 files and for those you need the .m10 tools that can also be found here on xda.
Well, I got the drawable-hdpi finished, I may have to tweek the 4g icon, the signal bars look a little pink. Tomorrow I'll see if I can find the syncing icon, battery percentage, and other little odds and ends that I can easily edit. I'm attaching the SystemUI.apk for anyone who wants to try it.

Development Discussion: Modification of PDF Viewer

Taking notes over PDF slides with the scribe pen has really saved me a lot of hassle. I love this function of the flyer. There's really only one way it could be better: Fullscreen support, or at least "more screen" support.
Not only does the HC bar take up space, but the menu/title bar on top is even bigger. The pdf viewer has the screen real estate of a 5inch phone.
PDF editing seems like only a moderately used feature, so I don't see this getting done on it's own. I'm offering a very modest reward for a fix.
I would be willing to donate for the removal of the huge uppermost Title/menu bar in PDF viewer, so that a double-tapped fitted pdf page will fill the new space. See the attached image. You can leave the small menu button in the corner if possible, or just get rid of it if it's too difficult.
I'm hoping this is as simple as modifying a few variables in the apk. I could be very wrong.
I can live with just the HC bar at the bottom.
Note: I have tried apps like repligo and ezpdf which do offer fullscreen support. However, annotating and changing annotation options takes many more steps than the HTC pdf viewer.
Secondary goal:
Apps like honeybar and honey hide widget cause all pen written annotations to be shifted up.
I believe the solution to the first problem would also allow an easy fix of the shifting pen annotations. I would like the PDF viewer to accept pen strokes properly with a hidden HC bar.
No one's willing to give it a shot? Ah well.
This will be my only bump.
I've attached the (unmodified, I think) HTCPDFViewer.apk from /system/app from LeeDroid's 4.1.0 rom.
I was the guy who removed the obnoxiously large language bar from Sony Ericsson's keyboard back when I was still using my u20i phone... unless HTC is particularly irritating about how it structures its resources, you're right that it is a matter of decompiling the APK, adjusting numbers, and recompiling it. Merely hiding is not difficult (making the Menu button semi-transparent is probably too difficult, though, but you can pick a ROM with the hardware buttons enabled).
Unfortunately it is also incredibly tedious to decompile and recompile everything right, from my experience of the keyboard hack. I'm not really up to it at the moment. Hope you can do it.
I've poked around in the archive. I wonder if I could just delete the ti.tle bar png or layout file. There doesn't seem to be a definitive title bar png
I'm also experimenting with apk multitool.
Since it's a stock rom app, is this venture going to be a lot more complicated than editing an xml line and then recompiling?
Here's where I'm at. Everything I know about android programming I've learned tonight, so this may be confusing and stupid sounding:
The decompiled apk has several things which could refer to the title bar.
dimens.xml has lines like
<dimen name="global_title_height">35.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="editing_panel_header_height">56.0px</dimen>
<dimen name="editing_panel_header_margin">47.0px</dimen>
<dimen name="editing_panel_no_footer_header_margin">35.0px</dimen>
However there are also thousands of header and title lines from other xmls.
Can I just use a theme line in the manifest?
It uses the ActPDFReaderTheme whose parent is the HtcActionBar.FullScreen from the com.htc.resources.apk
These link to the common_mainnav xmls and pngs in the resources.
Do I need to find an HTC theme from the com.htc.resources.apk that doesn't have a title bar? Could I edit the com.htc.resources.apk and edit the pngs or delete the referencing lines in the styles.xml?
Thanks. I'll keep digging.
And btw, the bounty's still out if anyone can do it faster. I don't have much free time.
I think I've got this. I'm real close
I figured out how to decompile, edit xmls, recompile, copy original meta-infs and androidmanifest, and adb push.
The dimens.xml in the viewer apk has no effect on the bar. It's a standard template htcactionbar.fullscreen
I could direct the apk to a new theme, but I've decided just to try deleting or shrinking the bar from the com resources apk.
Good luck! Remember the apk you push back must be a signed one, probably via hacking the modified xml files back into the original signed apk.
Now I've run into a snag.
No matter how many margin and layout dimension variables in the com resource I set to 1.0px, I still have a black bar above the pdf.
Then I tried changing the theme reference in the pdfviewer.apk. It loads the file picker without an action bar, but as soon as I click a file it crashes. It seems (I think) that the program has too many calls for the action bar. I'm not a programmer. Do you know how I can get the program to simply ignore any lines referencing the "actionbar"?
Lines such as: "invoke-virtual {v3}, Lcom/htc/pdfviewer/ActPDFReader;->getActionBarHeight()I"
I also tried <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item> after the theme and I have the same effect of no title bar but a forceclose after selecting a file
Could you post the entirety of the relevant xml layout file?

Unfortunately there is no simple relevant layout file. I can't go any further with this project because I don't know programming. Here's my progress if anyone would like to give it a shot:
In the decompiled HTCPDFViewer is a \res\values\styles.xml
There is the line:
<style name="ActPDFReaderTheme" parent="@com.htc:style/HtcActionBar.FullScreen">
This tells the program to use the HTCactionbar.fullscreen template style in com.htc.resources.apk
Now there are two paths to take from here:
1) Changing the style template to @android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen
or adding the requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE) line
Issue: This causes the file picker to load without a title fine, but as soon as a pdf loads, the program crashes.
How far I got: I simply deleted 2 lines referring to the actionbar in the PdfLoadingPage$LOADING_PAGE_Handler.smali and the pdf loads. However there is a now a black empty bar on the bottom, and any pen writing is being moved upwards.
I suspect this is because of the ActionBarMenuAdapter.smali that controls how the pen annotations are moved in relation to the actionbar. There are also 100 more lines referring the actionbar in the other smalis. You can find them all by searching the apk for "actionbar". A proper programmer could remove these lines, or more easily make every m_iActionBarHeight:I line refer to zero.
If someone can fix the programming, I suspect that this would also solve the hidden HC bar issue, allowing true fullscreen support!
2) Editing the com.htc.resources.apk
The styles.xml in this file has a NoTitleBar.Fullscreen theme that redirects to other xmls redirecting to different layout files and pngs.
I've looked through every dimens.xml and other xmls that may be even loosely linked to the actionbar. I even tried haphazardly changing every possibly connected dimension to 1.0px.
I then tried shrinking all of the related PNGs to 1x1 pixel.
The end result was just a funking looking grey and black bar at the top.
I have no idea where to find the dimensions controlling the size of the actionbar.
Thanks for any help! Warning: Recovery backup before pushing a new com.htc apk, if you don't do it correctly, things can get messy with the OS.

Ok I may have lied. There are one or two files I wasn't sure about.
These are from the xmls in layout folders of com.htc apk.
Can you take a look and see if there are simple line(s) to change here? notepad++ is great.
I already attempted to edit all of the dimens.xml dimensions. I can't remember if I got all of the dimensions in these files too.
The bar seems to be about 56 pixels. I gathered that from reduced editing view dimensions but I could be wrong.
Not that it is a big deal for a minor issue like this in a low traffic forum like EVO View but "bounty threads" are strictly prohibited by xda.
I doubt the mods will hassle you since this isn't a heavily travelled thread but they might shut you down at any second. Good idea to get some PM's going with anyone who is helping you.
Good luck.

Post the decompiled HTPDFViewer, please. I particularly want to see the contents of res/layout/*.xml files.
As a tip, don't delete any elements; just resize them to zero height/width if possible. Deleting will cause crashes when the program tries to reference them.

Woops I didn't realize bounties were prohibited, especially with so many developers asking for "donations"
Delete this if you'd like. I didn't mean to break the rules.
Donations and bounties are different. Donations are thanks for work done, bounties are offer of compensation to do work. If they allowed bounty threads xda would be overrun with them.
No big deal. I doubt the mods even visit this thread. Just wanted to give you heads up to establish pm conversations in case they did

No progress since my last update on the programming front. However I have been playing with the lcd density changer.
Setting it to 170 from 160 and enabling the GB like bar on top has interesting results. The pdfviewer only edits properly when I use Honeyhide or Honeybar. So we know that disabling the notification bar and having a working pdfviewer is possible.
However, I found I have the best pdf editing real estate when I set the lcd density to very low, like 120. In fact, not only are the title and HC bars smaller, but the pen seems to be more accurate too!
Maybe this information will help with our goal.
EDIT: at 120 and below, the scribe color wheel pops up on the wrong side. Still works though. Other tablet functions are much slower and there's some screen corruption too. It's not a permanent solution, but works for annotating pdfs.

New S memo backgrounds

I want some mew backgrounds for the S memo app but have had no luck searching for any. A transparent background would be ideal. Any idea of how to implement this or a note app that supports transparent PNG files?
Over pulled the S memo app and will decompile it shortly to find the backgrounds. It doesn't seem to save them elsewhere on the SD card. However I'm unsure how to go about making a transparent image.
A white image with an opacity too it, then saved as a .png.. Give me some dimensions when you pull the backgrounds and I'll throw a few different variations your way.

Ok, it looks like they have the background as 3 or 4 parts. I'm not certain but I think that is how it'll have to be changed.

that one is cool. I'm planning on using a completely transparent background so I can mod a FancyWidgets clock skin with the numbers will be in my handwriting. I'll recompile and install once I get done with this nandroid
Wow, that's personalization to the max. Are you compiling a truetype of 1-9 or what? However you do it, please share. That'd be an awesome guide.
I intend on just replacing the 0-9.png files in the skin I'm using. If it works out I'll post it here with some screenies. Can you go ahead and make one with 100% transparency?
It's not working. I'll try using the other one you made with Andy and see if I can see the difference then.
edit. Nothing. I'm thinking that the images are used in a different way to make the backgrounds. I'll look into it more and see if I can come up with the answer.
The android one won't work. I believe uploading a png as an attachment on XDA will automatically render it as a jpg. If you figure out which files to revise let me know.
S Memo Background
Regarding color schemes, i believe dark colored notes like the one used in S Planner in handwriting mode will be energy efficient for amoled screen devices and will also look great and elegant on any screen (like when you put it as a widget in the homescreen). I think the handwriting screen in s memo uses a dark gray background with light gray gridlines and an aqua blue font/handwriting lines. This makes it look great and unobstrusive.
Just a suggestion.
Not sure if you guys are already doing this, but you have edit the .9.png files in the drawable landscape and portrait xhdpi folders You cannot just overwrite a .9 png with a standard png or it will not work. I suggest googling how to edit .9 png files as I'm sure someone out there can explain it better than I can.
